Some things I thought I’d never say……

"Thank goodness, it's so lovely to get into bed"

Me too!

‘I’m having a total hip replacement today’

I wonder how FannyCornforth is getting on after her op on friday 17th June? anyone know?

Same here Witzend “Too hot to go abroad, let’s go in May or September”.

I’ll be 70 next year

“Whose my gorgeous girl then” to the cat

On a very sad note to my 8 year old daughter at the time “your brother has died”

‘I am a widow’.
‘Don’t visit’.
‘Happy 40th birthday’ to my child!

I can't kneel down.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery from your hip surgery FC. Hoping it will change your life for the better.

My mother to me:
"You'll be glad to go to bed one day"
Me "No, I won't"

Me now:
"Thank goodness, it's so lovely to get into bed"

"It's too hot to sit outside"
"Who would want to go to the beach today?"
"I really don't want to go off anywhere at the moment"

Hope everything goes well for you Fanny .

'There's a women's football match on TV tonight, I mustn't miss it'

Recently discovered women's football games and really into it. Never been interested in football and the men's game, so it's a phrase I never thought I'd say.

my fingers are putting weight on too,sorry Megs36.

Number one for sure.Mega36.
Hope it goes well FC, and your up and running very soon.

My former husband.

Me just the other day - ‘No, I really don’t think I’ll feel like going to Majorca* in October - I’ll be wanting some P & Q at home.’

*to stay with a friend at her holiday home. In my defence we went in late April/May - it was chilly! - and will have been away in September anyway.

Agree on the too hot, I used to sunbathe and use sun beds when there was no sun!

No thank you to an evening out, I would rather stay in.

your very young for that,....,(than the rest of us I should add)
best wishes for a speedy recovery!.. be thinking of you.

"You'll be old one day?".
(Mother to me, me to DD)

Teaching Death of a Salesman to a class who were resisting taking parts, out of my mouth came, "I need a Willie!" Cue much sniggering from 15 year olds. An art teacher colleague was gathering material to give to pupils and uttered the line, "Ok, who wants felt?" ?

To one of the children in my Reception class who were in the dressing up corner- “ Whoever is in the Panda, come out at once!”?

Totally agree I literally find very little in life lately to smile about these days. Aches pains of arthritis getting me down and family problems wearing me down emotionally. But that's life I am taking our dog on a long walk now. With lots of water to keep us hydrated.

I once had to tell a young man to “Unhand my mother in law”. I was so appalled it was the only thing that came into my head!
Good luck FC.
